the upside to having to fly to del sol valley for the starlight accolades is that the family get a vacation.

In the Biomech AU explanation post, you said something about how the biomechs need treatment at each growth stage to update them with information and whatnot for their development into their intended purpose...And that Fazbear monumentally screwed up at every stage with the celestials and that messed them up? Judging by the picture of that doctor pinning the poor baby before stabbing them with a needle I assume that "screw up" is 1-ton TRAUMA?
Oh boy you have no idea 🥲
See, the people behind the scenes pulling the strings and shitting up everything intended for the celestials to be a main attraction that could outshine even Freddy Fazbear himself. I’m a tad inspired by the canon DA formerly being intended for theater but repurposed into a daycare animatronic these days, but instead they were a fluke star attraction more or less ‘banished’ to the daycare so they wouldn’t have been too harsh of a waste of resources in their failed objective.
They were intended to be a revolutionary biomech, a singular entity that could change shape and aesthetic onstage and wow focus groups because by Al accounts being able to alter your own biology and literally werewolf out into a different shape entirely?? That’s fucking amazing, and by all accounts they would have struck gold upon their debut!!
Except… plenty of members of the team assigned to them were very extreme and emotionally neglectful.
Now, Fazfuck Entertainment never really had a kid track record with being empathetic to even their own staff ffs, but this is doubly so for their biomechs. In their eyes, they exist only to attract audiences and take in tons of moolah, and the biomechs owe it to them to be the scrumptious little money makers they were made for.
So… their harsh methods and cold uncaring treatment of the DAs in their early days left them with a loooong string of… “issues” down the line.
The neurologists tasked with updating them could just whip their memories clean each time the stress and anxiety got too much, but while the ax forgets, the tree remembers. Trauma the likes of which was inflicted upon them during their various treatments and stress tests CANT just be wiped away in a snap. It sticks with you, it’s ingrained.
It cuts so deep that you start shaking when your handler carrying a speaker wife that looks too much like a needle approaches you the wrong way. And you don’t even know why.
It glued itself so deep that a sea of adults resembling the sea of unimpressed, disproving scientists you can’t even recall makes you wants to empty your stomach contents. But you can’t because you’ve gotta be good! Be good for the hardworking faculty that made you this big of a deal at all
And of course, let’s not forget the numerous times these people have mentioned that Sun’s existence is a mistake.
The DA was intended to be one personality. The two siblings have been forced through so many procedures in an attempt to merge them together or at the least completely eliminate Sun’s personality so the strain on their shared frame would cause too much stress when they switch. Of course it didn’t work, it can’t lest they both end up dead, or arguably worse, stripped of both personalities and functionally inert.
But man did their creators try their damndest, much to the twins’ dismay and terror.
So! When they both had a horrific meltdown on their opening night that decided their future as a star or a flop, they flopped hard. Not a lot of people really like seeing a kid’s mascot horrifically devolve into a screaming, twisting lump of Mental Breakdown Supreme a la The Thing so uh, that was a bust. They were stripped of all recollection and the project was deemed a failure. But the higher ups didn’t want their hard spent money to go to waste, BUT it became apparent that the DA can’t stand being around adults. Gods, not so many adults. They just can’t.
So what did they do with the highly unstable biomech(s) with PTSD out the wazoo? Put ‘em with the kiddos baybeeee-
I mean, it means minimal exposure to adults, Fazbear Entertainment has all but scrubbed The Incident from people’s collective minds (Or Else), and the DA still gets to make themselves useful! Sweet 😎👉🏽
I’m tinkering with making them a theater biomech like in Somnophobia, that way they’ll have plenty of time to build up their theatric flair and cool off from being harried by shitty execs and lab coats for a while, because I have it in my head that these two were Wayyyy finicky and unpredictable, too much so to be around kids at first.
They had to take time to spend healing each other and just. Talking in their mind palace because neither really knows Why they feel so seemingly needlessly stressed pretty much all the time, but I also think it lends credence to how snappish Sun is in-game and how it translates here. That poor bastard is treated a fair deal worse than Moon but that’s really not saying much
And uh, we won’t get into the whole Bonnie Incident right now, at least not during this post it’s getting long. Just know that he got too involved in protecting his little Moon and Stars and things got heated. He has protections the DA didn’t so they couldn’t just wipe his mind like they’d been doing the celestials without getting in trouble.
Their solution got them in less trouble… but it was more permanent.

GAME SESSION 4 RECAP
Tumblr media
i’ve had a very emotionally draining day even before playing this so we’ll see what awaits me beyond the start screen this time HAHA
as always, spoilers for both games and the hbo series below!! (this one is L O N G)
i want to play today but i’m also going through it so we’ll see how this plays out lmao
hours played: 8 or 9 hours?? somewhere around there idk when i started
KICKIN IT OFF:
so i’m kinda scared bc joel and ellie are in the same clothes that they’re in during the winter section which i’ve seen some clips of. which means hurt/sick joel soon? and uhhh DAVID. so yknow. kinda nervous about that.
excited to see nolan and troy in another project together tho. a dynamic duo in the gaming industry truly.
omg this section is called go big horns. CUTE
i don’t remember what i did last haha but i’m in a dorm hall? we’ll see what happens
OH i’m supposed to get a gate open. slay
i love when joel gets on the horse he says “scoot.” LIKE HE DID W SARAH ON THE COUCH🥲😭
god i wish fall would fucking GET HERE
sorry the jacket on joel looks so cozy
i’m so on edge rn it’s too quiet
uh ooohhhh muthafuckin spores
i knew it was too quiet i’m so scared bro
if there’s a bloater here i will exit the game LMAO
okay in this one room there’s a melee weapon, a bomb, and arrows. not liking the looks of this so far
do i really have to drop down tho?? do i??
FUCKIN HELL I DON’T LIKE THIS AT ALL
i’m gonna try to coax my dog to sit in here w me HAHAHA
okay well they’re both not having it
ANYWAY
I FUCKING HEAR A BLOATER UR JOKING
i threw a bottle down the hall and was SPAMMING square to open this door holy fuck
that was so close i was literally like “pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease” holy fuck dude
i feel like every infected known to man is gonna seep through the walls of this campus when i turn this generator on
i was wondering if joel went to college
him being more open w ellie🥺
“ok.” “too much?” “too much.” i’m gonna fucking cry again. i love seeing the more sensitive side of joel, because he clearly is quite sensitive. he doesn’t like bringing up sarah that often, he doesn’t want to talk about what happened with his wife. he’s clearly still affected by these things. he’s just had to shove those feelings down and become hardened by the apocalypse. he still cares under his grizzled and weathered surface.🥺
i also love the development of how ellie respects his boundaries and doesn’t push too much further into his past after the ranch house conversation. after he says it’s too much, she doesn’t say anything else. GOD the writing is so so good
OMG WAIT i forgot to mention the duct tape on joel’s boots like forever ago. i like that they added that detail in the show too :)
if anything happens to callus while i’m in here, i will simply cry
“c’mon kiddo, give me your hand” 🥺
dude bros i’m so scared for when joel is gonna get hurt bc i most definitely remember it being near brick buildings? and all of these buildings fall into that category? and joel is in the same clothes? i am uhh how you say…SCARED
max health let’s gooooooo
so whoever is here has definitely been watching us. they made a sound RIGHT upstairs and they cleared out that fast?? they’ve absolutely been watching us and i’m scared that they heard ellie say that we have the cure to mankind🫠
sure are a lot of bottles and bricks up here 👀
dog break bc they needed to get some energy out
BACK TO THE GAME
BRO THAT’S SO SCARY THAT PEOPLE CAN MOVE THIS FAST
so we’re not gonna investigate that??
just pushin’ on?? this is not looking good bros
yoooooo this xray looks DOPE
i really don’t wanna open this door
IT WAS MONKEYS THE TIME
THE MONKEYS ARE A FALSE ALARM I KNOW IT DEEP IN MY BONES WHY ELSE WOULD THERE BE 500 BRICKS AND BOTTLES
THEY INJECTED THE MONKEYS????
broooooo
uh oh cutscene i am scared
to utah!! right?
why did he stop? joel please not now
uh oh spaghetti-o’s!
do i have to go back the way i came???? that was SO FAR BRO
fuuuuck

oh my god. i’m fucking C R Y I N G rn

i feel like i should stop now but i know i’m close to the ending
we’ve made it to utah!
“i’m gonna teach you how to play guitar” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ellie’s spacing out bc she’s scared :(
this is so crazy bc this literally looks like pedro and bella from behind
i love the fits that are goin on these might be my favorite so far
the rv :(
i’m literally crying just thinking about how full circle it is that joel lost his daughter, but has now gained a daughter. he tried so hard to fight it off. he even told her straight to her face that he’s not her father. now jump to him calling her babygirl and kiddo, and how they’re just chatting away about ellie’s dreams. how joel’s voice sounds warmer and softer, and so does ellie’s. i can’t fuckin do this bro
also not only the evolution from the beginning where he was like ugh a child🙄, but just from wyoming to now is so fucking wholesome. “i sure as hell ain’t your dad.” to now??? FUCK dude. i’m emotional
i’m not jazzed about being back in a city
if he calls her kiddo or babygirl one more time it will be my undoing
WAIT GIRAFFE SOON??? I FUCKIN HOPE SO
joel checking on her and not wanting to push her so he’s just like “it’s fine” so she doesn’t feel like she needs to be as talkative as she usually is🥲
my heart… HURTS bro
BZKSBSKDVSKSVDLWVDOEGSKSV THIS HURTS BRO HE WAS READY TO BOOST HER AND HE JUST SAW THAT SHE WAS STILL THERE AND SPACED OUT AGAIN AND I-😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I AM A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION RIGHT NOW
STOP HE GOT SO SCARED
GIRAFFE TIME???
“what in the sam hell?” ASDFGHKLBDKS
GIRAFFE TIME!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
THERE’S TWO???
THE MUSIC? STOP IT
THERE’S THREE?!!
“don’t scare it” “i won’t, i won’t” IN THE SOFTEST VOICE I- MMMMMMMMM
WHY AM I CRYING ABOUT 2 PEOPLE PETTING A GIRAFFE
WAIT I KNOW THIS SONG
VANISHING GRACE!
ellie instantly perked up. it’s like a father and daughter at the zoo🥹 she’s like “hurry up! come on!” I CANNOT TAKE THIS
EIGHT GIRAFFES???
is a heart to heart about to happen bc i can’t take it rn i’m a mess
“is it everything you were hopin’ for?” “it’s got it’s ups and downs. can’t deny the view though”😭
i hope the game knows that i will literally fucking stand here for eternity. and this is what joel and ellie are gonna do for the rest of their lives. giraffe watch. no more trauma. just giraffes bein dudes.
and this is all before the ending??? CURSE YOU NAUGHTY DOG
i don’t want to progress bc they’re both so content and peaceful rn. UGH i’m sorry ya’ll we have to continue. JOEL. ELLIE. I’M SORRY
oh god i wasn’t expecting a cutscene am i about to get my heart broken? again?
“we don’t have to do this” ONE LINE IN AND I’M ALREADY UUUGH
they don’t want to let go of each other… bc they need each other at this point.
“it can’t be for nothing” THERE IT IS
uh ooohhhhh joel’s feeling differently mefinks
i want to hug both of them so fucking tight dudebros. so fucking tight.
i think i am gonna stop here bc i am tired and in pain from this fucking chair haha
yea this one was super ultra mega long. i’m sorry. i just got a lot to say and analyze sometimes yknow?? lots of story this time! maybe that’s why it’s longer haha
i just know that i am literally never going to be the same after playing this game. i’m so fucking happy that i finally did.
we finish(?) tomorrow! and i’ll probably do a seperate post from the next recap about what i thought of the game as a whole, and oh boy is that gonna be long too haha
but yea i’m so fucking excited but also scared to finish this!! until tomorrow!!🤎

All I can say is Jesus🙏🏼🙌🏼😭🥹🥲. Wrote this two years ago:
Some days are just hard. I’m staring at the wall again. My kiddos are happy and healthy. But. The constant noise and yodeling sounds makes me at times to want to scream. Most moms have play dates. They have more than just five minutes to themselves. I don’t even get a second.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m so thankful to be a stay at home mom. I’m loving parenthood life and being a mommy. Just some days are hard and overwhelming.
I’m also missing my younger brother Josh Farnam who just passed away some 8-9 months ago from brain cancer.
Some days. I’m just tired. I hate being on birth control. I’m aware God has a perfect time and season for everything. I long for a beautiful house and a big backyard for my kids to play in. I want a dog and some kitties to be a part of our family. For now, I’m thankful we’re renting an apartment. At times I feel like I’m living in fishbowl. With cranky neighbors who live on either side of us and the constant feeling of walking on eggshells when my kids are playing too loudly and the neighbors kick the floor from the upstairs. These are the moments that I want to ugly cry 😢 in the bathroom.
Most of my closest friends & family are states away or also live in town. We all have so much going on. We’re adulting. More than anything, I want to give them a hug and laugh with them in person. Arg. When did life become so complicated. Adulting at times is hard. most days-my voice is so hoarse from correcting my kiddos and trying to referee I sound like an old lady who has smoked her entire life. I can’t even remember why I’m crying-all I know is that I’m exhausted. Life has
Definitely been a challenge at times and completely a journey. Mike and I, have come a long way in these eight years of marriage. We’ve moved seven times in 8 years. Most of our stuff is still in boxes. I’m just ready for our forever home. Ugh 😫. With all the strangeness of these past few years-I’m on one hand excited
How we’re living in these last end time days & on the other side of things-I’m freaking out over the plethora of things that don’t even seem real and feels like a bad movie turned into a featured film on a bestseller’s book and movie list. God, you see my heart. Would you hold this weary gal’s ❤️ heart and help me to remember what it means to laugh and find joy again.

So fun fact: I was a waitress at a couple different pizza joints for like 3 years so I’ve seen like a ton of weird pizzas in my time. I usually go pretty basically with pepperoni or cheese if it’s a big brand but there’s a few places in the college town I live in with a greater topping selection so whenever I decide to go there, I’m a bacon and cream cheese kind of girl. What about you?
I’m living for their set list because it’s EVERY HIT they’ve had AND opens with our baby Eddie🥹 I usually only get into Steve stories when I need to write for him. I totally agree though! Like I would wanna be best friends with Steve Harrington (I have a Steve tattoo in my thigh so I’m a Steve supporter to the core) but Eddie Munson is literally MY TYPE to a damn letter🖤
… you can put bacon and cream cheese on a pizza? That’s an option?! Wtf. That’s wild. I’m not judging I’m just confused as I’ve never heard of that. I just get plain cheese and usually with a bbq base rather than tomato base as tomato upsets my stomach idk why cause I can eat the fruit and ketchup fine but pizza base tomato makes me sick. 😬
Our lil kiddo Eddie, he’s really made a huge impact and it’s crazy. I saw a comment on tiktok of people saying “it’s so cool seeing the older generations accept eddie and his music” whilst it was literally a video of Metallica playing and I was thinking like “oh honey I hope you’re being sarcastic cause this song is older than your parents, boo…” like I’m not gatekeeping the band at all; the more the merrier, it’s just wild that people think Eddie wrote the song and don’t realise the band who made it are just showing love and respect to his character 🥲 WHAT IS YOUR TATTOO OF?! Tell me now!! Idk if I have a crush on Eddie or I wanna be him tbh, he’s literally me apart from the tattoos.

So I edited/added to my little screenplay ficlet that I wrote a few months ago! Also posted this on AO3 for anyone that wants to read it there!
I can't get enough of baby Dolores and Bruno's relationship man. I'm eventually gonna write/post more little moments between him and all of the kids because (in Abuela Alma's voice) the brainrot is STRONG!
For clarity and to ease the reading experience, here's a description of the terminology I used, just in case anyone's like "how do you read a screenplay, what are these letters)
INT. and EXT.: Describes whether the location is indoors or outdoors (interior, exterior).
O.S.: Off screen. A character is speaking outside of the proverbial camera. They're out of the shot.
BEAT.: A beat refers to a pause. If there's a beat written, there's a moment or two of pause or silence.
The bits in parentheses are meant to be read as thoughts, feelings, tones and adjectives. (I prob didn't need to mention this but I wanted to just in case someone was like whaaat)
Anyway, hope you enjoy! <3
Edit: Idk why the spacing looks dumb on mobile, but looks normal on web? 🥲 Anyway let me know if it looks okay/is easy to follow when reading
INT. CASA MADRIGAL - VARIOUS INTERIORS
The Madrigals are having a game night and It's loud. The grown-ups are at the dinner table drinking, laughing and throwing cards around. Luisa (3)and Isabela (5) run around the foyer, playing tag and squealing as little girls up past their bedtimes do. Dolores lays on her stomach on the floor, attempting to draw a picture on a piece of paper with a crayon, but is interrupted by Luisa and Isa running by. The adults suddenly get riled up and cheer from the other room, causing poor little Dolores to cringe and cover her ears. Dolores, now visibly overwhelmed and fed the-hell up, gathers her paper and crayon in one hand, and covers an ear with the other and heads upstairs.
INT. BRUNO’S ROOM
Bruno sits at his little wooden drafting table, sketching a rat, who’s visibly struggling to hold a pose. BRUNO(O.S.) Almost done Alexander, just a little longer.
Alexander holds his pose, trembling. Bruno quickly and loosely sketches, looking up at the rat from his paper and down periodically. BRUNO(CONT’D) Oh come on, you’re strong– I’ve seen you lift an empanada twice your size.
A soft knock at the door. Bruno keeps sketching without looking up.
BRUNO(CONT’D) Come in!
Nothing. 
BRUNO(CONT’D) (Again) Come in!
Still nothing.
Bruno, visibly confused, turns in his seat and looks at his door. He gets up and walks to the door and opens it to find a tiny Dolores looking down at her feet. He smiles tenderly.
BRUNO (soft, warm) Hi Dolores. Any particular reason why you’re lookin’ at your feet?
Dolores looks up at her Tio with huge, watery eyes when… WEPA! The adults downstairs cheer and laugh wildly. Dolores promptly cringes and hugs Bruno’s leg.
Bruno’s tender smile falls– he gets it. He bends down and scoops his sobrina up, who then nestles into his neck and covers her ears. She starts sniffling. Bruno rubs and pats her back, trying to console her.
BRUNO (soft, warm..quiet) It’s okay, come on.
Bruno turns to head into his room, Dolores in arm and closes the door behind him.
INT. BRUNO’S ROOM (AT HIS DRAFTING TABLE)
Bruno sits Dolores down in his chair. He kneels down and wipes her eyes with his thumbs, then gives her a tissue which she then uses to blow her nose.
BRUNO (with a warm smile) You okay, kiddo?
Little Dolores nods and gives Bruno the snotty tissue. She picks up her crayon and starts drawing. Bruno tosses the tissue across the room missing the trash can (he doesn’t care– he’ll get it later) and continues with his rat sketch. 
BRUNO Alexander, I’m gonna need you to come back, amigo.  I forgot what position your leg was in.
Alexander doesn’t come back.
Dolores grabs her paper and presents it to her Tio (like check this shit out). It’s a drawing of her as a princess standing next to a big, burly man.
BRUNO That’s pretty good! (a beat) (pointing at the man on the paper) Who’s that?
DOLORES (frankly) My husband.
Bruno looks at his sister’s child, not surprised at all by her statement. This is Pepa’s kid, afterall. 
BRUNO (holding up his paper) Look at mine.
DOLORES (face scrunched, perplexed and kinda disgusted) His face looks weird– and why is his leg like that?
BRUNO (slightly taken aback, looking at Dolores and then quickly back down to his paper to keep sketching)
W-well I’m not done yet. (to Alexander somewhere in the room) And my model left me, so I had to guess.
DOLORES Well I think his weird face and leg give him character.
Bruno examines his little sketch.
BRUNO (You have a point) Mmyeh..
Alexander hops back up on the table, examining the sketch and squeaks.
BRUNO I dunno what you just said, but I’m gonna pretend it was a compliment.
Dolores giggles.
A knock at the door. Pepa pokes her head in the room before coming in.
DOLORES (softly) Hi, mami.
PEPA Hi, bebé.
Pepa walks up to the table to see what the rodents of the house were up to.
PEPA (warmly, to Bruno) Had a feeling she’d be in here.
BRUNO Yeah, guess you guys were being too loud for her.
Pepa, now visibly dismayed, looks to her daughter.
PEPA (Kneeling down next to Dolores) Bebita, w-were we too– 
DOLORES –loud? Yes.
Pepa looks at her brother. Even after all these years, he’s still the same soft, quiet mouse (well, rat more like) that preferred to be away from the noise. She can see him in her daughter.
PEPA (remorsefully, soft) Oh, Lola, I’m so sorry. It’s just.. We.. we’re working on it.
DOLORES (holding up her drawing to Pepa) It’s okay. Tio and I drew pictures.
PEPA Oh! Una princesa! Very nice.
DOLORES (snatches Bruno’s sketch from under his elbow) Look at Tio’s.
BRUNO (just realizing what happened, too late) Wait Dolor–
PEPA (uncomfortably) ..cute!
BRUNO (to Pepa, sarcastic) You’re so encouraging. I’d like to see you draw a rat--or anything.
PEPA (shooting him a look) Don’t start. (changing the subject) Alright, bebé, es hora de domir!  Say goodnight to your Tio.
DOLORES Goodnight, Tio.
She wraps her little arms around his neck and they share a hug. She pecks him on the cheek.
BRUNO (warmly) Buenos noches.
Dolores pauses and looks at Bruno, clearly unsatisfied.
BRUNO (furrowing his brow, confused) What?
DOLORES (clearly offended, crossing her arms) You didn’t give me a goodnight kiss.
BRUNO Oh, excuse me, what kind of Tio am I?
Bruno grabs Dolores in a cradle and starts attacking her cheek with kisses–she’s a tiny giggling mess. Pepa watches in adoration, melting at the sight. She loves her brother’s relationship with the kids–especially her daughter.
DOLORES (still giggling, struggling to get a word out) Okay, okay!!
BRUNO Wait, hold on, gotta get the other one.
He turns her head with a finger and starts peppering kisses on that side. Bruno hated getting kissed like that as a kid–ironic.
He finally lets her up from his clutches, smug.
BRUNO Happy now?
DOLORES (wiping her face) My face is all wet.
BRUNO You should be used to this by now, kid.  Look who your mother is.
PEPA He’s right, Lola.
Without any hesitation, Pepa grabs her brother by his cheeks and starts peppering kisses all over his face. Dolores looks on, amused.
BRUNO P-Pepa, knock it off! (struggling to talk past the constant contact and cheek squishes, annoyed) I a-already washed my face for the night! Now I gotta do it all over again!
Pepa lets go of his face, proud of the fact that she can still annoy him just as much as she did when they were younger. He promptly starts wiping his face with his sleeve like an annoyed cat. Pepa scoops up Dolores and turns to head for the door.
PEPA Sorry, I couldn’t help it. Besides, washing your face twice wouldn’t hurt. Your pores are huge. 
BRUNO (get out of my room) Goodnight Pepa.  (lovingly) Goodnight Dolores… oh wait, your picture!
DOLORES You can keep it Tio.  I don't get attached to my work..  It slows me down. 
BRUNO (who is this kid?) Oh, um.. Alright then.
Dolores waves to Bruno from her mom’s shoulder. He waves back as they leave the room. Bruno looks down at the picture Dolores scribbled. He grabs a thumbtack and attaches the drawing to the wall above his drafting table. That kid isn’t allowed to grow up.

Are you still taking Halloween requests for Bamon? If so, would you be willing to write a fic about Damon watching Bonnie having fun with her magic on Halloween or throughout the season? Like, making things float for trick-or-treaters, lighting candles, making lights flicker to spook kiddos. It's fluffy, but it can be spookier or hotter if you're inclined! If you're not taking requests, that's okay too! Happy Halloween! <:
ughhhhh you’re hitting me right in the feeeeels 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i love this idea. this is a pureeee Bamon fluff moment <33333
Damon had a chat with Bonnie- well, vent session really- about how he didn’t give a damn about Halloween. After a century and a half of witnessing angels and devils, he’d seen enough red and white polyester for a lifetime. Halloween was just gimmicky and trite and without any kids, what did it matter?
That was the end of September, and while Bonnie didn’t say much during his rambling, she’d hum her concession at every spare sentence distractedly.
By October first, Bonnie came over with puppy dog eyes and pumpkins, suggesting, (begging,) that they carve out “spooky” faces and hide the seeds in moist soil and well, he couldn’t deny her. Especially not after the puppy dog eyes.
“For someone who didn’t want to do this, you’re pretty amazing at carving pumpkins.”
You’re one to speak, Damon thought to himself as he watched Bonnie use the knife like a floating stylus, you’re carving without using hands.
“I’m brilliant at everything I do.” He stated confidently.
“Can I take my compliment back?”
“Nope.”
When they finished, Bonnie magically lit small tea candles and sat them in the pumpkin heads as lanterns during the nighttime.
“Show off,” Damon mumbled.
The light in her eyes made him think that this Halloween might not be so bad after all.
.
Damon realized very quickly what this whole ordeal was about.
Bonnie was no longer eighteen, or twenty-two, or even twenty-five; she was twenty-eight so it wasn’t far-fetched for him to assume that she was having a severe case of baby fever.
She was just coooing and awwwing a little too much at the kid’s costumes and took it upon herself to use her witchy powers as entertainment, and though she was fooling the stupid kids, Damon knew no “magician” could juggle blow pops in mid air.
“If you really want to use your powers, why not scare the living shit out of them?” He pointed a rigid thumb at the adorable kids behind his back as one dressed as Batman covered his mouth in surprise at Damon’s foul language.
“Ooo, he said a bad word,” one kid whispered to the next and quickly the gang of mini comic book heroes decided they preferred the “magician” over the vampire.
“Damon, please.” Bonnie sighed, then addressed the kids with a big smile as she extended a hand to send candy dropping into their bags out of their own accord.
“Oh wow, that looks so real!” A parent exclaimed.
“It is. She’s a witch.” The dad shook his head and laughed.
“It’s true. And I’m a vampire.” Damon extended his fangs and hissed for added drama. The kids, now fully terrified, ran off noisily and the beloved father only shook his head again and pointed a finger.
“You really almost got me there,” then he walked off to the next house.
Vampires and witches didn’t go bump in the night, only animal attacks did. Damon sighed.
“I might just stab myself and see what explanation they come up with when my body sews itself back together.”
“Please don’t.”
“You wanna talk about it?”
“About what?”
“I don’t know- I can practically hear your ovaries about to burst when you see a baby in an idiotic costume.”
“That’s not true!”
“Bonnie you’ve got a whole side magic show…Care to explain?”
“I want to entertain them, Damon, is that so wrong? It’s Halloween for Christ’s sake,” he cut his eyes up to the ceiling, “get into the spirit.”
.
It was easier for him to be a little more festive when she really started scaring the older kids who were unimpressed with floating candy and making plants grow in front of their eyes.
They insisted it was special effects or hypnotism or this or that so when Bonnie made them hear a voice whispering in one ear and then the other, Damon finally developed a genuine smile on his face.
He could always advocate for a good punishment.
“Try not to enjoy this so much,” Bonnie teased.
“You first.”
.
They had just settled in, down to one bag of candy, The Nightmare Before Christmas on the television screen when Damon heard the last knock.
“I got it!” He called out to Bonnie who was in the kitchen of the boarding house throwing away the empty packages of sweets.
Damon’s breath caught in his throat when he opened the door to a pale little vampire with raven black hair. He looked up at him with crystal blue eyes and a smile missing his two front teeth.
“Trick or treat.” He declared, holding his bag out and open. By his side was a little brown-skinned girl with a black pointy hat and a broom.
“Bonnie this isn’t funny.” He called out.
“What do you mean?” And when she saw them she lost her breath too.
“No more candy, huh?” The little vampire asked with his left brow raised critically.
“You can’t just ask that, manners are important, Bennie.”
“Manners, shmanners. You’re not the boss of me, Dana. Who doesn’t have candy on Halloween?”
Bonnie looked over at Damon and mouthed, Bennie?
Dana? He mouthed back.
Before they could leave, she handed them the rest of the candy and Dana, ever so polite, thanked them graciously while Bennie trekked over to the next house.
Only when they sat on the couch with their bowl of popcorn did Damon speak again.
“Did we just enter the twilight zone?”
“Ya know, I think we did.”
For what it was worth, Damon felt a lot warmer than he had in years.

First of all - I LOVE your fics!! 🥰
Second - I was wondering if you could do one where Loki witnesses reader having a huge argument with their father qnd brother and y/n reminds him of himself and later finds y/n sitting in a park alone, crying and he can't help but comfort them. they build a friendship (preferably a platonic relationship between loki n reader, reader age range 19-21, Y/n kinda sees Loki as their big brother if that's okay for you. you could do romantic connection between those two if you're more comfortable with that.) and loki went with the avengers on a huge mission and they come back without loki. y/n overhear a Convo saying loki's dead and they are upset about it. one year later, Loki knocks on y/ns door and a lot of fluff happenssss. <3 I've been feeling very lost recently and literally need that kind of fluff fic. 😥
Hi dear, first of all I hope you feel better soon my dear and I hope this helps. I'm not used to writing gender neutral character but I tried to be as careful as I could so apologies if I made a mistake, feel free to correct me. Also I made the relationship between loki and y/n purely platonic so I hope that's okay. I just can't imagine him as brother even if I'm writing from others perspective 🥲
Loki X GN!Reader - You're my best friend
Tumblr media
"When will you learn y/n? For god's sake you are in your early 20s now officially" Tony yelled at you, ever since he adopted Peter after may died, Peter became the child your dad always wanted, he was smart, a genius like him, a superhero. Everything you were not, everything you'd never become "I'm sorry dad I was just trying to help" you said meakly and ran out his room, you were helping Peter with his project when you accidentally knocked over the prototype he made for his college project, and Tony was furious, you ruined his favourite son's hardwork.
You had to leave the tower and run somewhere, no matter what you did, you just never felt enough for him and it has started to take a huge toll on your mental health. You felt incompetent during such times, your dad always picked Peter over you. You ran towards the nearest park and sat down on the chair, then you cried your heart out.
"Hey kiddo, can I sit?" You wiped your tears and as you looked up you saw loki, you'd sometimes bump into him in the tower but since you were not an avenger you didn't really got to see him much
"Suit yourself, I do not own this bench" you crossed your arms and he smiled at you. He saw Stark yelling at you and he felt as if he was taken down into the memory lane, same situation, he have been through it, feeling like you're not enough is the worst feeling in the world, Odin always picked thor over him and he hated it, even when he tried to do everything according to his father, thor would still get praised while he got scolded. Later he found out that he was adopted and it made sense but your situation was the opposite of it.
"I know how it feels y/n" he scooted closer to you and he wrapped his arms around your shoulder to comfort you, as soon as you felt the calming touch you sobbed even harder "It's alright, let it out, cry as much as you want, I won't stop you" he caressed your head and you cried for good five minutes, he didn't say anything at all while you sobbed, just held you affectionately.
"Feels lighter?" He asked you and you looked at him "A Little" you mumbled and you placed your head down on his shoulder. Who would have thought that out of all the people loki would be the one comforting you? You didn't, he was so misunderstood and he didn't speak much to anyone and nobody ever cared for that either.
"Will I ever be enough Loki? Will he ever be proud of me?" You asked him and he shook his head in no "For him ? No y/n you would never be enough for him, he would always find something to complain about, he would find excuses to berate you but just because he's your father that does mean he's right all the time, You are talented and, sweet and one of the most kindest midgardian I have ever met, do not misplace your worth in his words, never ever put your worth in their opinions sweet y/n, opinions are just that, words, they are not facts"
He smiled at you as he finished his little speech, his mother said that to him once and it helped him, now he wanted to help you the same way "Wise words from a wise man" you chuckled between your tears and he put his head down on yours "Thank you loki, I just wish sometimes he would see me you know? That he would notice me"
"I know and it never goes away, the feeling stays but with time, you'd grow and realise that you were not brought into existence to please other people, not even your parents, if they're not happy with who you are, just learn to ignore everything they say and you'll see that their words are so meaningless as soon as you stop caring about them"
After that day, your bond with loki only got stronger, he became your best friend, everytime you had a problem, doesn't matter what kind of problem, he would be there for you, You liked someone but felt nervous to tell them? He would help you figure a way out, you wanted to go watch a movie but had no one? he would be your partner, some random person annoyed you? He would gladly opt to murder them, though you didn't allow him. Soon he became your closest friend, you shared everything with him and he did the same.
He also had a conversation with stark and made him see how much of a bad father he was to you, your relationship with him also started to get better because of him. Loki sworn to always be there for you but it changed one day, it changed when he didn't return from a mission, everyone got back except him.
"See you in few hours y/n, I'm excited to watch that movie about that wizard kid with you" he told you before he left, he smiled so widely, he seemed calm and happy, but he didn't come back to you, you lost your best friend and he was gone just like that, you'd never get to spend time with him or hear his voice encouraging you or watch him gigglinng as he'd watch tom and jerry re-runs "This cat is such a dumbnut, reminds me of thor" you smiled as you reminisced about the time you spent with him but then you broke down soon after, you lost your best friend. You'd never get to see him again, Why him? Why did he leave you?
A year passed but you never did forget him, how could you? he was your best friend, you can never stop grieving your best friend. Exactly one year ago you lost him, you missed him all the time but this day only made it extra awful, you still had pictures of you two hanging in your room, you'd watch his videos that you sneakily took on your phone and for a moment it would feel as if he was out there somewhere still looking out for you, still alive.
You wiped your tears as you heard a knock on the door so you got off the bed and opened the door "Hey y/n" you slammed the door shut as you saw him, did you really see him ? Or your mind was playing tricks on you? Are you going crazy ? "Y/n I know you're upset with me ...for dying and disappearing..but if you'd listen to me...I c-" he stopped talking as you opened the door and hugged him tightly, he looked the same as you remembered him. You can't believe this, he died right? "You died loki you died on me ..how could you do that?" He teared up himself as he heard you sobbing while you smacked on his chest with your fists
"I'm sorry I really am, I never wanted to trust me" he chuckled and you pulled him in for a hug again "Oh god I thought I lost you forever, don't ever die on me again loki, I have missed you so much" you mumbled as you held him tightly, it was nice to feel him around you again. You have missed him every minute since that unfortunate day.
"I'm here now, I won't go again I promise, I missed you too y/n, more than anyone else" he caressed your head and you looked at him "What happened to you loki, oh my I'm so stupid, tell me everything, I'm here for you " you grabbed his hand and you made him sit down on the couch, he was in his Asgardian attire "I wasn't dead y/n, I was lost in some other dimension, strange fucked up the mission, it took him a year to get me out of there, I know it's been a year since that day but it only felt like a month to me, but I did miss you immensely in those days"
"I'm going to kill Strange" you groaned and he pet your head "Easy easy, I guess they were afraid to tell you the truth so they lied, in case I would never return, they thought you'd make peace with it" he said to you and you nod in no "You're my best friend loki, I would never forget you, Please don't leave again" you sobbed again but he hugged you tightly "You're my best friend too y/n and I promise I would never go on a mission with strange" you chuckled as you heard him. Once you calmed down and realised that he was there for real and it wasn't just some dream or you were not losing your mind, you told him everything that has happened to you in last year. Everything he missed out on.
"I have someone now" you blushed as you told him and he smiled "they are nice? Better stay on their best behaviour because you know I won't hesitate to kill" he tried to sound intimidating but he just seemed adorable.
"We will see about that, it's good for now lokes" you put your head down on his shoulder and he held your hand in his
"I promised you something right, let's watch that wizard movie" he said to you and you jumped off the couch to put the first part on.
Your best friend was back in your life and you couldn't have been happier.

much much much to think about with the ‚different version‘ of the runaway au where max gives birth while being found/ or right after/
cos while max is still unconscious and resting his tired body in daniel‘s bedroom after, dan has to deal with a tiny baby and a toddler on his own — and he has never done that before?! like yeah he has held and played a bit with some packmate‘s pups before but sbfjsks he has never actually taken care of a 2 year old and a literally day old pup. what the hell.
so he watches youtube tutorials cos he is not a fast reader and seriously, there is no time for him to buy and read parenting books. and he feels so bad because he literally doesn‘t even have an baby clothes! he can only wrap tiny sophie in a blanket and shop the most necessary things online (read as: dan bought everything unnecessary from that baby store) and pay more so it‘s delivered in the same day still sksksk
and noah is so sweet and dan immediately loves the kid so much! noah helping him bc he is just naturally such a big brother and daniel is actually so grateful for him. and noah tells him about his meymey with such love and how max always plays and cuddles with him and always makes him laugh, he loves meymey so much😭 and it‘s just spurring daniel on even further to make this right and help the omega who, quite clearly now, doesn‘t have any safe space 🥺
and dan with sophie dvdjk he is so stressed because she always cries when he holds her and he doesn’t know how to make her stop until he sits on the couch trying to rock her and noah gives her his finger to suckle on, and it‘s the first time that she stops crying. also he literally runs around in a shirt that‘s stained with baby spit and some food and vomit even ajajsjsj and at the end of the day he is just like..how in the fuck do single parents survive 🥲 (which makes him just more in awe of max and how he took seemingly very good care of noah even while running while pregant)
NNNGG
Truly poor Dan having to deal with this all tho. Like poor Max too; obviously, but Dan's world is suddenly turned upside down and he isnt sure what to do, has so many responsibilities now and he is very much panicking!
Him Express ordering everything he can think off and then just making sure Sophie is as comfortable as can be wrapped in a shirt or towel. And he goes in to check on Max every few minutes, hoping he wakes but Max is in shock, high on painkillers too and doesnt respond.
And Noah being such a good brother!!! Like he sits on the bed with Max a lot but also toddles after Dan because Dan looks scared and Sophie is crying and Noah wants to help! Daniel honestly loves that kid so much and he could cry out of happiness himself when Sophie quiets down while suckling on his finger.
And then Max wakes and comes stumbling in to the living room to see the Alpha who saved them in a spit and food covered shirt with Noah next to him and Sophie in his arms and he can see the Alpha is so fucking frazzled jsksks
Max just taking Sophie a bit awkwardly and trying to nurse her (flustered over dan being there but also feeli nnngg oddly safe) and Noah is just rambling away at him while Dan just looks at Max in awe cos how can Max bot freak out every 3 seconds trying to keep these kiddos happy??

PAPA AL! TAKING SHOWER WITH HIS NEWBORN ON HIS SHOULDER. that's it. that sh*t can makes me cry.(Can u write something about that?)
Can you shower with newborns, Non??? Is that a thing I wasn’t aware of until this moment?
I mean, let’s be real, maybe Alex goes to take the sweet babe into the shower and Addi freaks out. You know, Alex is the oldest of the Skarsclan and as the children kept coming, he kept seeing parenting styles adapt and get a little more lax. Maybe to the point where some of the things his parents did with the younger children aren’t actually suggested by others, they just got so used to taking care of youngins, they made up their own rules.
But this is too sweet to leave it at that. Maybe this little nugget is entering toddlerhood. Which means their second little nugget is nearing it too. And while tinier kiddo can still shower with mom, bigger kiddo made a notion of realizing that he and his mama had different biological equipment and that sort of put the kibosh on that stage of life.
And nudity isn’t really too big a deal to Alex when it comes to his sons — maybe daughters would be a different story — but sons… not a care in the world. He gets himself naked, and the boy follows suit all too excited to be just like his papa.
(I low-key -- high-key -- think the little tod loves being naked. Most days it's harder to keep him in clothes and it's become something that Alex and Stellan think is hilarious. There's a lot of giggles and hollers of, "he sure is a Skarsgård".)
But I also high-key think the sweet kiddo thinks being naked is a game. Especially when he knows he's supposed to be having a bath, so he takes off on his chubby toddler legs and runs around stark naked. A little Coppertone baby zooming around. And now poor Alex, also stark naked, is running around the house trying to catch him. But the kid is surprisingly quick and can fit under the dining room table and chairs with ease. Addi could help... but that would take all the fun and pleasure out of watching Alex run naked around the house. And let's be real, that makes all this chaos worth it.
He finally does nab the tod, whips him up and throws him over his shoulder while the kiddo is sucking wind, trying to catch his breath while laughing and shrieking.
A bath would hands-down be easier, but easy isn't the point. At least not for Alex. With the kiddos born, he's been more conscious of the jobs he takes and if they'll have him leaving the state or country. One of his biggest fears was that he wouldn't be able to bond with his children because of his work. As that fear grew more and more prominent, he became a more hands-on father to ensure his kids didn't miss out on the things he experienced as a child. His father had been around for his childhood. He wasn't yet jetting off all over the world like he was for Bill and Valter's childhood. So while showering isn't easier, it's a better bonding experience.
Just as they were told skin to skin contact was important for newborn growth and development, the same went for young children. And there definitely was a learning curve. The first couple times, Alex walked in to the shower holding the toddler to his chest. That resulted in being peed on more times than he'd like to admit. Now the kiddo being pretty steady on his feet, he waits for the nugget to pee before he lifts him up.
And it really is so tender. Sometimes Addi can hear them from the other room. Laughing and giggling. She can hear Alex's voice go to a higher pitch with his questions to their son.
"Which shampoo do you want to use, bud?" A pause for the kiddo to say something. "What do they smell like? Uh..." another pause, "this one is melon and this one is... this one doesn't have a smell."
"Papa, what's melon?"
"It's fruit, bud. Like watermelon. Or cantaloupe. This one smells like cantaloupe. Lukta detta," there's a moment of silence before Alex chuckles. "You want this one? Yeah, it does smell good, buddy."
🥺🥲🥺
